China is able to pivot quickly on projects of enormous scale in part due to its political structure. I doubt many western countries would pivot so quickly and drastically for national interests in whatever you call this version of capitalism.
What a waste of time,money, and resources
China has ghost cities with empty apartment buildings. They have tons of resources to waste.
Tell me you're living half a decade in the past without telling me. "Ghost cities" are actually areas where the state preplanned urbanization so everything would be in place when people started moving in. In fact, most of these "ghost cities" are actually populated now.

What's the point? For the drink?
I'd guess for ethanol based fuels?
the point is leaving more food on the table that would otherwise be used for ethanol production.
Too bad the SCMP conveniently doesn't link any research materials or evidence of this 'vital' energy production plan.
My bet is another bullshit project led by scammers. Just like that enormously removed energy storage plan
